Penguins, ice and tutus

I remember getting this book as a gift when I was about five or six years old. I believe it was the first book I read and nearly memorized, because I was so fascinated by the wonderful story and beautiful illustrations. This book tells a story about a young penguin named Josephine who was not accepted in her ballet class. She eventually overcomes her insecurities with the help of her friends, while gaining acceptance from those who doubted her in the begining by showing them her unique talent. A wonderful story that encourages you to do your best and never give up, and to be proud of your unique talents.

Slippy ice flow:bunnies and penquins?

You gotta love this book,dancing bunnies,seals,walrus,dogs..and a family of the cutest penquins. Josephine the little penquin needs all the help she can get to not get sad and give up. This wonderfully cheerfully illustrated book is a smile on every page. A story with a moral ,don't give up sometimes failure too can be fun,when their laughing with you and not at you.
